FRESHMAN SEMINAR: THE DEVELOPMENT AND SIGNIFICANCE OF MYTH (3) McCarter   Freshmen only Limit 12   
A people’s myths are the stories its elders tell its children. Because these stories have developed over time, they convey the collective wisdom of many generations. Considered sacred by those who transmit them, they often contain insights into the human condition that can be appreciated by outsiders. This course explores the many modern methods employed in the study of myth – historical, anthropological and psychological – and experiment in applying these methods to stories selected from African, Biblical, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Mesopotamian, Native American, Norse, Polynesian and Southeast Asian mythology.
